There are enough explosions to satisfy my need for action in a movie. It won't be anything particularly profound or thought-provoking... but action, explosions, and Chris Pine? I think I can ignore the blatant romance theme just for the sake of that, plus the ludicrous antics.

I brought my dinner into the crafting room to sit down with my computer, eat, and use the interwebz. In my right hand was my bowl of chili, and in my left hand was a perfectly ripened pear. I put the chili down on the TV tray that had my laptop on it, and plopped the pear on this red and gold throw pillow on my futon. I sat down and looked at the pear.

It looked so regal, sitting there on the scarlet pillow with its gold embroidery. So official. And somehow, it required an anthem.

So I hoisted the pillow into the air and sang out, "Genovia, GENOVIA!!!"

More "Unstoppable" stuff... CNN's I-report has a brief set of interviews with the cast, including a short segment with Chris Pine talking about the everyday folks behind the story in the movie. Whenever I hear this guy talk, I get the impression that he really *does* think a lot, that he considers the stuff he says, and that he's not just waxing poetic for the camera. If he is just playing up the intellectual ethics for the camera, then I'd be disappointed (impressed with his acting, but still disappointed), but I really think this is just the way Pine is.
